I don't ever connect two wall connected power supplies, because depending on thier ground states it's possible to send 120VAC through the ground wires. ie if one psu uses line ground and if the power company reverses wiring such as can happen when a crew is doing road work. you can have a 120V from line ground to earth ground. its very rare but I've lost enough equipment to keep me from doing it again.]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/6048/2015-04-23T16:02:06Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/93875/#p93875<![CDATA[Re: combining power supplies?]]>Depends on how you combine them. Parallel would do 12v 25a, Series would do 24v 12.5a.
Not all supplies can be connected in series, and most cannot be connected in parallel.
